What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Boo Boudreaux]

Wow what a find on those older cans of oil ~!~!

800 when burnt will make a goo on the piston top.

My 461 with 800t tuned @ 14800 and @ 32to1 . Thats after I wiped the top off from it being sooty and alil wet

 

[Keith Gandy]

It is if you use Motul. You're use to running Klotz....dirty. It's not the fuel that leaves deposits it's oil.

Somewhat true. Why does a 4 cycle car or truck produce carbon on the piston?

 

[jake wells]

You can get a lot of carbon deposits in a 4 cycle also not just 2 cycles and plus i find any 2 stroke ran with klotz looks better than 4 cycle running stardard pump gas.
and there are oils out there that are 10x dirtier burning than klotz its called stihl oil.
here is a 4 cyl 4 cycle fuel injected engine for comparison.

Remember when we "had" to take our hot-rods out on a long straight stretch, or the freeway, and "blow out the carbon"? All that puttering around town was just killer on the engines, ya' know. Had to let 'em breathe every now and again.

after about 1.5 gallons of gas mixed with Mobil 1 2t racing (red colored) 32:1

this muffler has been used on other 661s I have so the inside really can't show. But the cover was pretty clean.

spark plug

Jug - the brown is not build up, it's oil that can be wiped away. The jug is very very clean.

Piston and crank - plenty of oil on the skirts. Good coating on the crank etc. Clean. Oil puddling inside those trox heads.

Wow!! That should clear things up alil on carbon discussions

 

[Crzybowhntr]

Could running 2r @ 32:1 through my fs130 r be causing it not to idle very long? I don't recall that issue when I was running it on 40:1 husky xp oil.

Curious to know if more oil causes that type of issue

 

[junkman]

a cup of water down the carb while rpm's are up a little at a time is how i was taught by an old timer to de-carbon the pistons

Ive heard that before too

I just put a new piston in my 064, how long should it take to get a decent wash?

Three tanks

Three tanks

Thanks

 

[jmssaws]

The vp station got some more klotz stuff today. Got a can of cleaner and oil for my maxflow filters.

5 or 6 tanks

 

[mdavlee]

With some oils I can see a nice wash in half a tank. Mobil and Dumonde are easy to see. They wipe right off as well but there's carbon on there quick.

I hope my Chevy 350 doesn't look like that.....it's still going. Valvoline 10W-40.

Tune looks good.

 

[Ron660]

It is cleaner than super or 927 in a firewood saw. Cleanest is my lowest priority for picking oil. Fastest and happiest saw are top.

I'm curious to see the "timed cuts" from Redbull's oil tests. Proper lubrication in the lower-end is probably the most important criteria no matter what brand of oil you're using.

 

[Ron660]

Never had any problems from gas and oil. I don't keep track of how long a saw last but I'd say 2 or 3 years if it's taken care of.

If you're not experiencing any engine malfunctions due to the type and quantity of oil you're using, I'd say it's a good oil. No matter what the piston crown looks like.
